Mr. Reed is a native of Jasper county, and a brother to Thomas J. and John Reed, still residing here. The sinking of the Lusitania has some local interest, in that J. W. Beckman, son of J. C. Beckman of this city, who was secretary to Elbert Hubbard, the noted editor and lecturer of East Aurora, N. Y., who, with his wife, lost their lives, was to take Mr. Beckman with him on his trip to the war zone to study at firsthand the great European war. Only .a few days before he sailed, however.
